OVERVIEW
Studio Nocturne is a Seattle area-based architecture and design studio grounded in alpine aesthetics, sustainability, and client-centric solutions. The studio’s expanding portfolio of distinct projects display a balance pragmatism and art.

Our work is defined by a rigorous methodology rather than a particular style or building type. We meet each project on its own terms rather than assert our own assumptions. by seek to answer our client’s problems in the most direct manner possible. through in-depth artistic investigation. The solutions we find become materialized in timeless and durable built forms that exceed standards for sustainability and environmental stewardship.

We believe that great architecture is an expression of understanding—understanding our clients’ needs, ideas, and dreams, as well as the constraints of site, material, time, and cost. This thoughtful, client-focused approach ensures that every design reflects individual aspirations of each project.

We do not create for the sake of novelty; instead, we craft spaces for the way people live. Every space has a story, and every form has a reason.
